Chapter 250 A Minor Interlude of Being Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace



That evening, Wang Yitong and her sisters-in-law locked up the shop, took the day's sales revenue from selling clothes, and carefully counted it at home. They were surprised to find that they had earned more than 10,000 yuan. The first day of selling clothes was actually equivalent to a month's income when they first started selling skewers at a stall.

It's incredibly profitable. If you do well in the clothing industry, making money is no problem.

However, it's important to be selective with your clothing. The styles should be attractive, novel, trendy, and fashionable. The fabric should also be of good quality; it shouldn't be the kind that tears easily. You need clothes with a certain texture.

It should be so easy to spot the difference at a glance...

After dinner, Wang Yitong generously took out three hundred yuan and gave one hundred yuan each to her sister-in-law Lin Wan, her second sister-in-law Zhou Xiayun, and her mother-in-law Wang Cuihua: "Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, we are all family, so let's not be formal. But I can't let you help me for nothing, otherwise Tianyong will say I don't know how to do things when he comes back."

The old lady Wang Cuihua packed it up and prepared to save it. It was a gift from her son Tianyong and daughter-in-law Tongtong, and she had to cooperate. In case the family encountered any difficulties in the future, she could use the money she had saved.

Don't underestimate this hundred yuan. Sometimes when you're poor, you might not even have a single penny to spare, and your pockets are emptier than your face.

The Ye family has always been like this; they've been rich and poor, experiencing ups and downs throughout their lives. Wang Cuihua, this little old lady, has witnessed a lot along the way, and she already knows what it means to be penniless.

Before Wang Cuihua got married, her family was wealthy, or to put it bluntly, they were so poor that all they had left was money. After marrying her ideal husband, the two of them went to his hometown, and with food, clothing, daily necessities, and the birth of their child, they went bankrupt in no time because they hadn't been saving money before.

Her relatives, who used to be related to her, now keep their distance. Having witnessed the nature of humanity, the old lady now sees that the family has money and is used to saving it, reluctant to spend it. What if she needs it in an emergency later?

We must have a sense of vigilance even in times of peace.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace" is an idiom, which her granddaughter Yingbao taught her.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace" means that even when people are safe, they should always be aware of or think about a series of potential problems, dangers, difficulties, etc., so as to prevent and avoid dangerous situations from occurring in advance.

This four-line idiom also serves as a warning to the world: don't wait until danger and difficulties truly arrive before realizing your regrets.

Therefore, on the road of life, we must always be vigilant and cautious in everything we do. We must think things through carefully and not let temporary comfort or happiness cause us to ignore the dangers and difficulties that may arise along the way or around us.

…………

Wang Cuihua vaguely remembered that her grandfather, Ye Yaozu, had taught her before, but she had completely forgotten. She didn't care; all she remembered now was that her granddaughter had taught her. Because of this, her grandfather had previously said to her: "You are a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved; you are a stubborn rock that cannot be taught."

She used to think the old man was talking nonsense. Why was he teaching her this? What's wrong with her, a nouveau riche, not good enough for him, a cultured man who told her not to drink but secretly did?

Another issue is that the old man used to speak in a very literary and esoteric way, which was too profound and difficult to understand; in short, she just couldn't comprehend it.

In through the left ear and out through the right ear...

That's her.
